Favorite Spots And My Dorm Room

     I've been meaning to update this for awhile but just haven't been able to find the time. I also wanted to procure a couple of things before this post so that I could give some insight about my life at college with pictures of my favorite places and my dorm room and just generally my world as it is now.
     My dorm is pretty close to the local eatery JCL (Jester City Limits) which is in the Jester dorms. I'll actually be staying in Jester West (They have a Jester East and West because it's so large) for the fall and spring semester. Jester West is actually attached to the building with JCL in it. I'll be able to get food without leaving an air conditioned building! (It's hot out there okay?) As lazy as that may sound.

 

Said path on the way to my dorm.

     One of my favorite places to just walk through is actually on the way to JCL. There's this canopy of trees right by my dorm. The branches and leaves just reach over you and these beautiful slats of sunlight fall through and there's a faint green glow shining through the leaves. It's diffused and for a moment there is this quintessence of everything before you come out on the other side with the feeling like you've just accidentally slipped into another world. A brief respite from the world. An insight into everything. One that you forget as soon as you're out. Or it's a bunch of really pretty trees and I take everything too seriously. Either way I love it.
     There's another place on the way back from one of my classes by one of the two gymnasiums on campus called Gregory Gym and that picture is below. The old man in the hot pink short shorts came walked into the frame just as I took the picture. Ironically he came from the gym all sweaty and then lit up a cigarette. I don't really understand the point of spending all that time exercising getting healthier and then canceling it all out like that, but that's just me.

Gregory Gym on the left. By far the prettiest place on campus.

     I have my Cultural Mythology midterm tomorrow (which is what I'll be studying about all night) and my Classical Mythology midterm Friday. I'm significantly more worried about the mythology class because of a monstrous essay question and the sheer amount of things we have to know, but I absolutely LOVE that class and my professor. She's amazing. My Cultural Anthropology professor... not so much. Anyways, the place where I spend most of my time is this lovely place. 

My dorm room! You can see my bed (top bunk) and my laptop/desk area.

     Well, I sure really get back to studying, but I wanted to tell everyone about what's going on. There aren't too terribly many people on campus right now, but everyone tells me that the population will explode when fall semester starts. I can't wait! Until next time!
